Students in China unable to access MIT App Inventor

MIT App Inventor Help

Hi,

We have students in China who are unable to access MIT. Can you please see why is this the case? We teach programming basics using MIT App inventor in NZ, but due to Pandemic, some of our students are offshore.

Yes, IIRC AI is not fully accessible in China. You can try these links and tell us which of them work
https://www.wxbit.com/
http://www.appinventor.com.cn/

There is no doubt that https://www.wxbit.com is the most powerful and best choice.

The main App Inventor system is hosted at Google and therefore is not accessible from mainland China in most circumstances. You can use http://code.appinventor.mit.edu instead, which is hosted using Amazon Web Services.

Hi,

Thank you all.

Yes, I have been told they are now able to access using: [http://code.appinventor.mit.edu]
I will let them know about other links you mentioned if they encounter any other issue.
